The Impact of Valve Surgery on the Safety and Cardiac Function of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease Complicated by Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
CONCLUSION: Valve surgery in valvular heart disease with PAH is influenced by patient age, functional status, and PAH severity. Despite advances in surgical techniques, there remains a notable gap in understanding the nuanced interplay between these conditions and the variable outcomes of valve surgery. This study addresses this research gap, offering comprehensive insights into how age, heart function, and PAH severity influence postoperative outcomes. These findings are crucial for clinicians, providing a more informed basis for tailored treatment strategies, and ultimately enhancing patient care in this complex clinical...

Risk factors and outcomes in patients who switched from peritoneal dialysis to physician-oriented or patient-oriented kidney replacement therapy
CONCLUSION: Compared to patient-oriented KRT conversion, PD patients who underwent physician-oriented conversion had higher risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Factors included age at catheterization, education level, annual household income, and history of diabetes mellitus.PMID:38604972 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2024.2337286 (Source: Renal Failure)

Relationship of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride with risk of mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a multicenter prospective cohort study
Conclusions: In MHD patients in southern China, higher TC levels were associated with higher risk of mortality, while higher TG levels were related to lower risk of mortality. Patients with lower TC and higher TG levels had the best survival prognosis.PMID:38604971 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2024.2334912 (Source: Renal Failure)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 484: Exploring Adiponectin in Autosomal Dominant Kidney Disease: Insight and Implications
In conclusion, adiponectin levels and the presence of ADIPOQ rs1501299 genotype are significantly associated with a worse ADPKD phenotype, indicating that both could potentially provide important insights into the disease. Further studies are warranted to understand the pathophysiological role of adiponectin in ADPKD patients. (Source: Genes)

Perioperative complications of minor and major reinterventions for peripheral arterial disease
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, major reinterventions after LER were associated with greater perioperative morbidity than minor reinterventions, with no difference in mortality. Major reinterventions performed via open surgery and CDT had similar morbidity and mortality.PMID:38597200 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241246907 (Source: Vascular)
